No new class yet

[dahawk]

I'm shocked we have yet to hear about no new classes yet past 2 expansions that waS the big opener do hoping for day 2 we hear something

[Pebrocks The Warlock]

What was the new class in Cata? I forgot.

[KCguy]

For the first time ever in an expansion, we're getting no races or classes. It seems like they're focusing on what we currently have in the game which is great as we have a lot.

Cataclysm?

[Pebrocks The Warlock]

Cataclysm?

Cata had 2 new races.

[Arkenaw]

We don't need a new race, new models are covering that. And we don't need a new class cause I don't want to switch mains again

[Maxilian]

Cataclysm?

We got 2 new races in cataclysm (worgen and goblins)

Also O.P remenber that we got a new race and class in MoP, so at least it was obvious we wouldn't get a new class, we had more possibilities with a new race

Yeah it is usually one expansion two races then next expansion no new races and one a class.
With MoP we got a new Class AND a New race, we still are in deficit of a new race over the course of two expansions overall but I can live with it.

[Krekko]

Cata had 2 new races.

We'll be technically getting 10 "new" races. Considering they are all getting redone, Vanilla-TBC. The only ones that aren't getting done are the two new races from Cata and the new race from TBC.

[Hunterpower]

I'd rather they spend time making our classes more unique.
rogues, hunters in particular are rather boring lately.
and new models >>>>> new races, by a biiiig long shot. DEM FEMALE GNOMES!!!

[Spotnick]

They are redesigning 10 races, and people are complaining? You know it's more work than doing new races, right?

[DemoBytom]

I hoped for a new physical ranged class to share gear (Weapons) with hunters..
With savage world expansion it'd make sense.. We'll see, but if they didn't show them I find it unlikely we'll get them tomorrow.. New class would be one of the main features to show in the opening trailer..

What're you talking about past two expansions? MoP had the Monk.

new model =/= new race

[thoruga]

I'm glad there's no new class. There are enough balance issues as it is.
As for new races, it's probably due to new character models. For me it's ok though, I'd probably wouldn't touch new races playing my nelfs and undeads.

[Teriz]

Clearly, the new models are the "new races" for this expansion.

new model =/= new race

The most work behind a race is 2 models and lore
I do prefer to have 20 new models (because you have to count also the female counterpart for every race) and get the lore on existing races (such as the long forgotten Draenei) fleshed out instead of getting another race

They did a very good work on lore side with Pandaren, but adding another race when there's already work to be done on the previous ones and chances to expand a race with a quantity of lore so insignificant, is wasted opportunity. Overall a new race, for me, is nice but not an a "absolutely must have" feature.

[The Kao]

new model =/= new race

What they mean is, the ressources needed to redo the old models are probably even higher than creating new races. And I'm with them. After what I've just seen I'm happy they chose to give the game as a whole some love instead of adding yet a new race or yet a new class, that'd have only served to make things even more chaotic than they already are after MoP's unreasonable additions to the game.

[Deleted]

Yea because 11 classes with 34 specs aren't already a clusterfuck of balance. PvP is in a great state of equilibrium and I can't see how adding another class could make it any worse.

im happy with what ive seen so far and excited dont get me wrong looking forward to tomorrow
